IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Set To Break Two All-Time Records

Indian Premier League 2026 is set to kick off on March 28, and two of its biggest stars - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - are on the verge of major career milestones. Rohit, representing Mumbai Indians, is closing in on a major batting landmark. He currently has 47 half-centuries in IPL history and needs just three more to reach 50. If he gets there, he’ll become only the fourth player to achieve this feat, joining elite names like Kohli, David Warner, and Shikhar Dhawan. Players with most IPL fifties Virat Kohli: 63 (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) David Warner: 62 (Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad) Shikhar Dhawan: 51 (Multiple teams including PBKS, DC, SRH) Rohit Sharma: 47 (Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers) KL Rahul: 40 (Lucknow Super Giants, PBKS, RCB) Meanwhile, Virat Kohli - playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru - is chasing a different kind of record. He is just nine sixes away from reaching 300 IPL sixes, a milestone achieved by only two players so far: Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma. If Kohli gets there, he’ll cement his place among the league’s most explosive hitters. Players with most IPL sixes Chris Gayle: 357 (RCB, PBKS, KKR) Rohit Sharma: 302 (Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers) Virat Kohli: 291 (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) MS Dhoni: 264 (Chennai Super Kings, RPS) AB de Villiers: 251 (RCB, Delhi Capitals) As things stand, Chris Gayle leads the six-hitting charts with 357, followed by Rohit (302) and Kohli (291), with legends like MS Dhoni and AB de Villiers also high on the list. Virat Kohli will begin his IPL 2026 campaign on March 28 in Bengaluru against Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Rohit's first outing for Mumbai comes on March 29 against Kolkata Knight Riders. With both players nearing historic achievements, IPL 2026 could be a landmark season for two of India’s greatest cricketers.

Government assures strong fuel security: No LPG shortage, crude reserves secured, PNG transition underway

India's fuel supply remains stable and secure. The government assures citizens that petrol, diesel, and LPG are readily available nationwide. Officials are combating a misinformation campaign designed to create panic. Strategic reserves are robust, covering approximately 60 days of supply. Domestic production and imports ensure continuous availability of essential fuels.

India Has Enough Fuel For 60 Days, Govt Calls Shortage Claims ‘Misinformation’

India has about 60 days of fuel stock cover, the government said on Thursday, adding that there is no shortage of petrol, diesel, or LPG as it dismissed reports of shortages as a "deliberate misinformation campaign" aimed at triggering panic buying. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said all petrol pumps across the country are adequately stocked and operating normally, with no rationing of petrol or diesel. India, the world's fourth-largest refiner and fifth-largest exporter of petroleum products, has structurally assured domestic fuel availability and continues to supply refined fuels to over 150 countries, the ministry said in a statement. "Every Indian refinery (which turn crude oil into fuels like petrol and diesel) is running at over 100 per cent utilisation," it said. "Crude oil supplies for next 60 days have already been tied up by Indian oil companies. There is no supply gap." India, it said, has 74 days of total crude oil and fuel stocking capacity. "Actual stock cover is around 60 days right now (including crude stocks, products stocks and the dedicated strategic storage in caverns) even as we are on the 27th day of the Middle East crisis," it said. "Nearly two months of steady supply is available for every Indian citizen regardless of what happens globally." With next two months of crude procurement already secured, India is completely secure for next many months and the quantity in strategic cavern storage becomes secondary in such a supply situation, it said. "Any representation that India's reserves are depleted or insufficient should be dismissed with the disdain it deserves," the ministry said. It added that crude supplies remain stable despite tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, with higher volumes from alternative sources offsetting any disruption. Indian refiners are operating at above full capacity, and crude supplies for the next 60 days have already been secured. The ministry said India currently has about 60 days of fuel stock cover, including crude, refined products and strategic reserves, countering claims of critically low inventories. LPG supplies are also sufficient, it said, with domestic production increased and import requirements reduced. Additional cargoes have been secured from multiple countries, ensuring steady availability. The government warned that misleading social media posts and fabricated claims of shortages or emergency measures were being spread to create unnecessary anxiety, and said action will be taken against those responsible.  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Do Diesels Still Make Sense? Mercedes G450d Review Answers

With EVs and hybrids being the talk of the town, you could be forgiven that diesels even exist. However, even in the luxury space big diesels are sought after with Mercedes-Benz particularly having a long range of them spread throughout its entire product range. Plus with diesels like the one on the G450d you don't even remember your driving one since it is so quiet. The G450d uses a more powerful version of the straight six cylinder turbo diesel which makes 367hp and 750Nm of torque. This makes it more powerful than the earlier G400d or the G350d while just trailing the petrol G63 which gets a V8 engine. As a result this diesel not only is silent but also quick with a 0-100 km/h time of under 6 seconds. Performance and Driving Experience However, beyond the numbers the performance is strong with torque served up instantly and it rockets forward. Despite its huge size and weight, the G450d is fast and with smaller wheels than a G63, the ride quality is better here which means it is a go anywhere super luxury SUV provided you are brave enough to take a Rs 3cr SUV offroad. If you are though, the G450d rewards you as it just feels indestructible. What also feels good is the small details. You have to climb in and the door locks shut like a bank vault with a loud noise. The interiors are luxurious and now come with a few modern tweaks including a large touchscreen while having luxuries like massage seats, nappa leather, Burmester audio system and more. Luxury, Practicality and Price It's not a hugely spacious car but the G450d isn't meant for rational luxury SUV buying- the GLS is for that instead you enjoy the superstar status, the tough build quality unlike any other and the strong performance of the diesel engine. Unlike the EV G580 or the G63, you have better fuel efficiency too and more range at around 8kmpl. At Rs 3 crore the G450d is wildly expensive but you buy the car for its unique abilities and the image plus the looks. Plus in diesel form it is arguably more practical for our roads as well. Diesel still makes sense for big beasts like this. What We Like and Dislike What we like- Build quality, performance, looks, luxury, offroad ability What we don't like- Price, rear seat space

Imran Khan’s Son Qasim Appeals To UNHRC, Raises Alarm Over Former PM’s Health & Detention

Imran Khan, former Pakistan cricket captain and Prime Minister, has once again come under global scrutiny after his son Qasim Khan approached the United Nations Human Rights Council over his ongoing imprisonment, urging intervention in his father’s case. The former cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since 2023, following multiple convictions, including corruption charges that resulted in a lengthy prison sentence for both him and his wife. Qasim Khan Raises Concerns At UNHRC Speaking before the UNHRC, Qasim Khan highlighted what he described as worsening conditions and a broader climate of repression in Pakistan. He voiced strong concerns about his father’s treatment and the political environment in the country. "I am deeply concerned by the alarming rise of intolerance and persecution in Pakistan. We are witnessing a systematic campaign to dehumanize and silence specific segments of the population." He further added, "My father, Imran Khan, has been in prison for nearly 1,000 days. He is the primary target of a regime that treats dissent not a political disagreement, but as a grave crime to be crushed. I have not seen my father in over three years. He's held in a solitary confinement cell. A cell built for death row inmates." Health Concerns and Solitary Confinement Qasim also drew attention to his father’s reported health issues, claiming that the former Prime Minister is being held in solitary confinement under harsh conditions. "UN experts have warned that inhumane conditions could amount to torture. This is not neglect. Its a deliberate persecution designed to strip a human being of his dignity." According to recent reports, Imran Khan may be experiencing vision problems in one eye, raising further alarm among his supporters and family. Why Imran Khan Was Imprisoned Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan’s Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, was removed from office following a no-confidence vote amid escalating tensions with the country’s military establishment. After his ouster, multiple legal cases were filed against him. He has been lodged in Adiala Jail since August 2023. Among the most notable cases is the Al-Qadir Trust case, in which he was handed a 14-year prison sentence over allegations of corruption and misuse of funds. Additional cases related to state matters and protests have further complicated his legal situation. Before entering politics, Imran Khan was celebrated globally for his cricketing achievements, most notably leading Pakistan to victory in the 1992 World Cup.
